When you want to come away from a conversation with specific outcomes, it’s up to you to create the conditions for getting what you need. 🌱
In this solo episode, I’m unpacking the concept of a coaching container - an intentional framework of agreements and questions to generate a space for connection and clarity. 💬 Collaboration (and isn’t that what a conversation is?) flows much better when everyone feels seen and heard.
Container-building isn’t just for coaching! It’s for any conversation that matters to you. Whether you’re preparing for a meeting, a one-on-one, or a personal conversation that requires courage and care, this episode offers a practical, immediately applicable framework for setting yourself up for success. 🌿✨
Today I’m speaking with coach and facilitator Shilpa Alimchandani and we're talking about the courageous and liberating work of how we examine the systems and contexts that shape our sense of self and leadership. Together we discuss how we view the coaching container as a sacred space.  And Shilpa shares how through movement, music, and sound, we set that space apart, quiet the noise, reconnect with our bodies, and practice presence.
Shilpa is founder of Mookti Consulting partnering with mission-driven organizations to build human-centered workplaces. She brings more than 25 years in DEI, leadership development, and intercultural learning, and has facilitated in 20+ countries. As a coach, she supports women of color to lead with purpose and clarity without sacrificing values or well-being, helping clients see how social identities and systemic power dynamics shape our experiences.
